Top landmarks in Siwa
![Deteriorating mud-brick #architecture houses in the old town of Shali, now in the central part of Siwa. The town of Siwa is built around this, like it showcases their history, where they came from.](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/91f9809a26ff5f03acfdb5a2fab5fbb8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh)
Siwa Oasis

Siwa is well-known for its attractions such as Fortress of Shali and Hill of the Dead. The city has something for everyone including sights like Siwa Oasis and Fatnas Island within a small-town setting.
![Siwa could be Egypt's best kept secret. If you are in Egypt and are not on a schedule, add this stop to your travels and you won't be disappointed. It is located about an hour east of the border of Libya, it is about an 8 hour drive from Cairo to Siwa.
The mud houses fill the main part of Siwa and have existed there for hundreds of years. It only rains a couple times a year, which is how these buildings still exist, though they are no longer used. There are many cool things to check out in Siwa:
- jump in one or several refreshing springs to cool down with (Cleopatra springs recommended)
- float in thigh deep waters at Siwa Lake (aka Salt Lake); this lake may be just as salty if not saltier than the Dead Sea. Be careful walking on the rocks/sand as the salt may give you tons of tiny laceration that you don't notice till later. There's an island in the middle of the lake that you can walk to since the entire lake is very shallow (about knee to thigh deep depending if you break through the crusty sand surface, very difficult walking but entertaining).
- try sandboarding in the Sahara Desert
- Spend a night at a Bedoin Camp, very authentic
- bikeride around town
- or just enjoy the laidback atmosphere of the town
Truly a one-of-a-kind town.](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/2b4537375818ce65e9a5d66f15cc0a62.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=899&h=675&p=1&q=high)
